Update (yum/dnf) on Oracle Linux 8.9 Fail on Some Servers.
Oracle 8.9
When attempting to update an Oracle Linux 8.9 server I was stymied by errors I have never seen before. I searched for the listed errors and found a few references but none of the suggestions worked.
For example if I try to update gnutls
$ sudo yum update gnutls I get the following response Downloading Packages: gnutls-3.6.16-8.el8_9.1.x86_64.rpm 1.5 MB/s | 1.0 MB 00:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1.5 MB/s | 1.0 MB 00:00 Running transaction check Transaction check succeeded.
